WHY WE WENT HERE: - my brother and I set up an appointment…read moreto donate our hair together to Wigs for Kids - the original salon we were going to sent an appointment reminder to me informing me they were temporarily closed until June 2024 - we had a limited time window in which to get the hair cut for the both of us (full weekend of family events; plus my brother lives out of state) so I turned to Yelp to get quotes and appointment availability from about 2-3 dozen salons - chose Breanne because she was the most communicative, gave fair pricing, and had the availability we needed - because we needed our hair done simultaneously, Breanne reached out to a barber to get my brother's cut in at the same time as mine with her THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - street parking off 16th St - building is located on 16th St in between O St and Carriage Path - from the sidewalk my brother and I saw various studios into the building we needed to go into for our appointment of people with a barber or a hair stylist THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - just like we saw outside, inside we saw that majority of the suites are individual contractors (mainly barbers, hair stylists, and I saw one for nails) - I'm not sure exactly which barber my brother went to, but he was in a different suite down the hall and I was with Breanne - in Breanne's studio it's by the window looking out to 16th St, so lots of natural light; she has everything needed (one barber chair as she's the sole stylist, one shampoo sink, one chair in the corner if you had a guest with you, floating shelf of the hair products she uses, which were mainly Kevin Murphy, and a wall mounted TV playing a Pandora station of vibey R&B and Hip Hop) CUSTOMER SERVICE: - Breanne was extremely communicative prior to booking the appointment (gave me all the information I needed) - once my brother and I arrived at the building, I text her as instructed to let her know we were outside so she can let us into the building - she guided me to her salon suite and my brother to his barber's suite - during the appointment she was very warm and welcoming and listened to my needs (I'm not necessarily picky about my haircuts since they occur so seldom; I grow it out to donate it) - she was sensitive to our time crunch and changed our appointment to be slightly earlier so we couldn't be late to our next obligation; she did well with the cutting of my hair donation, my shampooing/conditioning, and my cut and style

I had such a great experience at Salon Bravissimo and I'm so happy I found Joy. I came in for hair…read moreextensions, and from the consultation to the final styling, she made me feel completely comfortable. She took the time to explain the different extension options, what would work best for my hair, and how to care for them afterward. I never felt pressured or rushed, which I really appreciated. What stood out to me most was how knowledgeable Joy is. She pays attention to every little detail to make sure the color match and placement look as natural as possible. When she was finished, the extensions blended seamlessly with my own hair. They feel lightweight, look incredibly natural, and have given me so much more confidence. The salon itself is beautiful, clean, and has a relaxing atmosphere. It definitely has an upscale feel, but everyone is so welcoming that it never feels intimidating. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, offered me something to drink, and made me feel like they genuinely cared that I had a good experience. It's not easy finding someone you trust with extensions because they require a lot of skill, but Joy really knows what she's doing. If you're thinking about getting extensions or are looking for someone with experience who truly cares about the end result, I highly recommend scheduling with her. I'll definitely be coming back!

All my friends and family think the color she's done for my hair matches me most out of all the hair colors I have done. When I initially showed photos of the color I wanted, she was able to pretty much accurately match what I was looking for, but better! I was going for an ashy gray but the tone she does for my hair is like a silvery ashy grey; I totally love it though. I have hints of lavender/purple in my hair from the shampoo/conditioner I use to prevent my blonde hair from getting brassy. She relocated her business to Elk Grove but I'd like to still keep seeing her, even though it's further from La Riviera, just because of how nice my hair always looks after a salon visit with her.
